The foreign used Ford Galaxy MPVs are known as Tokunbo or “Toks” and are a better choice as a result of the maintenance culture of the countries the vehicles are coming from. Another option would be the Nigerian used or “Registered” Ford Galaxy MPVs. For the Nigerian used ones, their prices are a lot cheaper than the foreign used ones, and could be in impressive road useable conditions.
